Dean's Message

Assalamualaikum and Salam Sejahtera,

Greetings from OYAGSB, UUM.

Welcome to our website which provides basic information regarding our background, programmes we are currently offering, our directory of experts, information regarding our research and publications, and many more.

OYAGSB has achieved a lot since its inception in 2009 and it is indeed on the right track of achieving its goal of becoming one of the premier graduate schools of business in Malaysia and in the region. The quality of our school and premium academic programmes that we are offering have been duly recognised locally and abroad. Apart from MQA, we have been accredited by the prestigious AMBA, AACSB, ABEST21, and CEEMAN IQA. We have also been collaborating with Chartered Management Institute, U. Kingdom (CMI) to embed Chartered Management Institute (CMI) professional diploma level 7 into our MBA programme which entitles our graduates to apply for the Chartered Manager status (CMgr.). Recently, we were accepted to become a member of the European Doctoral Programmes Association in Management and Business Administration (EDAMBA) as part of our quest to upgrade the quality of our PhD and DBA programmes.

Apart from academic programmes, we are also offering corporate executive education programmes, specially designed to meet the needs of (senior) management and executives for new skills and knowledge to help them adapt and meet challenges of the volatile, complex, and ambiguous business environment. Our programmes are also developed to enable and enhance learners’ capacity to manage organisations effectively so that they can deliver beyond organisational and societal expectations.

OYAGSB had also recently set up a leadership research institute called iLEAD4Change. This is an effort to streamline our research and consultancy projects so that it will be in line with the school’s objective and strategic directions. Our research and consultations projects are mainly focusing on solving problems faced by the industry and communities around us. In addition, the outcome of research projects will be published in reputable journals and converted into case studies to be used in our MBA and DBA classes.

I strongly believe that OYAGSB will continue to grow stronger with the overwhelming support from UUM's top management, full commitment from our resident faculty and administration wing, and endless contribution from students, alumni and industry partners.

I hope that you are able to retrieve the required information from our website. We welcome your feedback to enhance our online and offline services.
